A child from a poor family: Li Ren grew up in a mountainous area in southern Anhui. His father's serious illness made the already poor family even worse. The encouragement from his high school teacher became a key turning point in changing his destiny.
A turn of fortune: Through the village's pool of money and student loans, Li Ren entered Nanjing University with the expectations of the villagers. The admission notice from the Department of Architecture opened a new chapter in his life.
Entering the city for the first time: The embarrassment when new students register and the encounter with Su Qing bury their youthful feelings. He was accidentally injured during a work-study program but unexpectedly received an internship opportunity, showing the tenacity of those at the bottom.
Career journey: From construction site supervision assistant to employee of a well-known design institute, Li Ren completed the triple jump in ten years. When I bought a house and got married, I encountered a cold winter in the industry and faced a major life test for the first time.
Rebirth: With the support of his wife, he founded a studio and seized new opportunities to transform into green buildings. Finally, at the peak of his career, he received a rural reconstruction project and completed the return of value from the city to the countryside.
